    So tomorrow I'm getting a VIP 922 and a VIP 211...but I have a question.

    This man is not kidding. My first 3 days were pure grief. You can actually move content around, you just need an external usb drive to put the content on.

    dual port usb and network hard drive

    i'm looking for an external hard drive that i can hook up to an openbox s10 and also hook up to my network, so at the same time i can both record and have access to programs. It does not seem that such a device exists. Sort of like a slingbox but for FTA.

    Replacement 622 keeps rebooting

    After about 90 days of operation, my box started rebooting yesterday. Now it reboots about every 10 seconds. On an open shelf, not hot or anything. I think it is the power supply, and not firmware. The box sure seems to be junk. Since its leased they are replacing it.

    Unitymotion and amc3 tp 24 (12180)

    Anyone know how to get a unitymotion to recognize the 9 new pbs channels on tp24. I get 3.5 bars, do a scan, finds the right bit rate and then pops back. A viewsat finds the channels just fine.

    Why do you have FTA?

    For me it was simple. I had a C band dish and in the last couple of years it was exclusively tuned to PBS schedule X. Then PBS moved satellites and my picture turned to crap. Then a storm bent up the 15 year old dish to make it permanently unusable. So now i have a 1 meter dish pointed at...
